Overclock Improvements are so low

Recommended Posts

I have an i5-9600k with corsair h100i with asus z390-f
Recently, I overclocked it to 5gHz @1.31v @LLC(AUTO) @80C max.
The only Improvement I got is 2749 points in Cinebench R20 where I used to get numbers like 2850-2885 stable.
In XTU, I only got 30 points higher than base clock.
There is no thermal throttling.
What is the issue?
Checked Multiple times, Each time it's happening

Something's not right here, I get about 100 points increase per 100mhz in R20 when OCing. As for FPS, speaking from my use case on my CPU, for every 500mhz increase I got at least 20 FPS average in games that my single core was the bottleneck.

When was the time you were getting higher frame rates. I want to see what you have done from that time to now to slow it down.

It was with LLC Level 6 @1.31v with the max of 83C. I was getting a cinebench R20 score of 2875-2900.
Those were stable.
Now, with the same settings I'm getting 2772 max with max temps @79C
I've no idea what's happening

Solved it!!!
I set Corsair iCue an Asus Aura Lighting settings to default
Got the performance bump I had before
Don't mind the current temps. It's at LLC7, in LLC6 it's max at 80C
